In fact a diskless rpi squeezelite device can be *mostly* automatically created following the Raspberry Pi information on the wiki: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/RaspberryPi This is still in its infancy but the basics are there.

You do need an SD card installed to boot from ideally. So it's not strictly 'diskless'. As for installing Squeezelite...well it's no different than on any other system.
You don't need to make it an MD at all. Just install your preferred Rpi Linux distro (we like Raspian) on a 4gb SD card and install & configure SqueezeLite.
This kind of application of the Rpi is where it excels.
All the best

heh. You are correct Andrew, the rpi will always have an SD card. But we only use it to bootstrap u-boot. The rest of the system starts by tftp'ing the kernel and nfs root mounting the FS the same way diskless MDs PXE boot within LinuxMCE, so this is very different than 'Installing your favourite OS and manually installing and configuring squeezelite'. Simple, no hassle, minimal config in webadmin (I'm working on eliminating this too), and no on-rpi configuration required. It is of course very fresh and minimally tested so far but the idea is to remove the manual manipulation and make things *much* easier for users.

We've found that the optimal solution is often a Rpi on Wifi behind an amplifier or speaker system. Raspian + Squeezelite is incredibly easy to install configure too and will provide a flexible solution.
We used to use pxe booted devices for this in the past though.

And this is still possible in LinuxMCE, the auto-creation method is only one option. :)
